One Daily Men's Multivitamin

Centrum clone at half the price. Same synthetic forms throughout: dl-alpha tocopherol, zinc oxide, folic acid. Covers RDAs on paper but your body absorbs maybe 60-70% due to budget forms. At $0.04/tablet, it's cheap insurance. Not good insurance.

5.5/10
DECENT

Generic Centrum clone for $8/200 tablets. Same synthetic forms: dl-alpha tocopherol (synthetic E), zinc oxide (poorly absorbed), folic acid (not methylfolate). Covers RDAs cheaply but uses budget forms throughout.

SafetyAll clear
ResearchStrong evidence

Standard multivitamin formula. Forms are less bioavailable than premium alternatives.

What We Like

  • 200 tablets for under $8.
  • Covers basic RDA requirements.
  • Lycopene inclusion for prostate.
  • Available at every Walmart.

Watch Out For

  • Synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol (inferior to natural d-alpha).
  • Zinc oxide (worst absorbed zinc form).
  • Folic acid instead of methylfolate.
  • No magnesium to speak of.
  • Budget forms across the board.
